Musk probably thought calling it "X" made it sound edgy and cool. I bet it really annoys him every time it's called "the social media platform formerly known as Twitter."

Once these companies have your money, they don't care what you want. Don't give your money to companies that abuse you like this.

If that picture was of a Windows installation, Windows would be a Sumo Wrestler instead of a kitten.

Yup. And there's also a HUGE difference between being anti-Semitic and just being against genocide. And our "news media" is determined to deliberately conflate the two.

Company-wide email: "We've had our best year EVER and it's all thanks to YOU!"

Me: "Great. Can I have a raise?"

Company: "Oh, we can't afford THAT."

Stockton Rush got a bargain on the carbon fiber he bought from Boeing because It was approaching the end of its shelf life and it was no longer acceptable for use in aircraft, let alone submarines.

Rush also made a number of claims about the involvement of Boeing and other companies, claiming they were "involved in both the design and construction" of his submarine. Those claims were not true. Boeing made it clear that they had NO involvement in any part of the sub's design or construction and they had simply sold Rush the carbon fiber.

Google has also gotten lazy. Their first dozen or so searches are either YouTube or Reddit results. (And that's only when they want to pretend they're a search engine).

For the FIRST time? Yeah, no. How about ALL the time?

1. It let's the US government waste taxpayer money on military hardware to make the billionaire class even richer. Money that would be far better spent on US taxpayers.
2. It panders to evangelicals, who need Israel to exist in order to fulfill their Book of Relations, End of The World, apocalyptic jerk-off fantasies.

All Musk wants is that bong-hit of attention he gets from getting his name in the news. This is why he blew 44 billion on Twitter. He really doesn't care if Twitter or Tesla succeed or not. He gets bored with his toys quickly if they don't provide him with the attention he craves.

If it links to your Steam account, I assume it's going to get all the info in your Steam account.

Yup. This is the lazy devs "difficulty" setting. Harder just means, "Enemies take more damage / Enemies deal more damage."

Another vote for Connect.

This is a terrible idea.

Such a "clever businessman." Embezelling $17 million in taxpayer dollars to enrich himself.

The difference is, if rioters try to break into the Capitol building THIS time, they're not going to get bottled water and a pat on the ass. The Capitol police are going to be loaded for bear.

Let's see: Communism A system of government where the country's wealth is concentrated into a small, ruling class of billionaires, who use the media they own to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money.

Oh wait. that's capitalism. I don't know how I got those two systems confused.

"self-driving cars" are not going to be a thing within our lifetimes. It's a problem that requires MUCH smarter AIs than we currently have.

Ads are a way for corporations to steal your life from you, 60 seconds at a time.

Damn. YouTube is just SO desperate to squeeze every bit of ad revenue they can, wherever they can.
